Episode 15 - Those Crafty Hops

In Episode 15 of Tap the Craft we talk about hops and how they are used in the brewing process, as well as the form the hops can be in for adding to the beer and listing various aromatic hops you may experience in craft beer.  We answer a listener question about what makes a beer “Imperial” or “Double.”  Denny discusses a few beers he drank from his cellar...find out how it it went.  Our listener participation tasting notes for Ep15 is with Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen...so prepare for it by grabbing yourself a bottle or six and drink along with us.
